I am new to riding cruisers...When I bought my Vulcan 900 Classic I hopped on it and thought whoa what have I done now!...Footboards! Big handlebars! Low low seat!...But after a couple of 100 ... more

k's I began to understand...laid back, stress free...and after reaching 50 (years that is) and getting called "old man" by young whippersnappers they certainly are, in my case old man friendly. I rode my first bike 32 years ago and have ridden and owned an assortment of bikes over the years, from a Suzuki 100, Kwaka Z, Honda Four to an R65 BMW...that was when I was bitten by the Gestapo bug and since then I have owned two R60's, two R90's, an R80RT and an R100S...and you may find this hard to believe, I have never had a car license or had the inkling to drive one. I've had a couple of years break from riding due to life circumstance and found myself in need of transport so after a bit of soul searching (and head scratching) I decided on the Vulcan...to be honest I had a lot of trepidation about it because cruisers are so different from what I have ridden in the past...but riding it takes me back to all those years ago when I was a young whippersnapper myself discovering bikes...riding down the street the other day I thought...there aint much in this world that can beat riding a bike...wherever, whenever, whatever.

Favorite bands and musicians:You can't beat the "bluse" as Son House spelt it!
Hound Dog Taylor, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee and I really love the older stuff especially when there's a National or a Dobro involved.

Favorite movies:Science Fiction, Horror (luv it!) and I guess a lot of quirky arthouse stuff as well...the weirder the better!

Favorite TV shows:None really...although I'm not averse to the occasional dry documentary...oh and I love it when they put the Isle of Man on.

Favorite books, magazines, and writers:Science Fiction and Horror again. The old Lovecraftian stuff is good...I'm not interested in this Harry Potter type crap.
